Chicken Oscar

Possibly my favorite meal other than a Fillet Mignon from Forbes Locker in Spirit Lake.  I don't make this often and for the life of me I don't know why!  It's so easy to put together and so well worth the effort.

You start off with two toasted English Muffins, topped with a chicken breast, top that with some roasted asparagus spears, top that with some creamy Hollandaise and crown off the entire creation with some tender crab meat.  You're drooling aren't you???

I only had some chicken tenders on hand so I coated them in an Italian style Panko crumbs and slowly pan fried them.  You can use a nice piece of steak also if some in your family prefers that over chicken.  Fix a nice small salad as a side, a dish of tart raspberry jello with raspberries topped with a dollop of whipped cream and you have a meal that would please anyone.  (Sorry about no pics of the salad and dessert but they were consumed before I realized I hadn't taken photos)  Even decided to make the meal a little more special by using some of the dishes I had stored away...time to bring out more of the dishes I have and start to use them for everyday.

NOW, what to do with the leftover Hollandaise ????  Sounds like I just may be having Eggs Benedict with a refreshing Mimosa soon!

Even though we're having Thanksgiving at my sisters house I put together my own little fall centerpiece for my dining room table... love the candleholders with their own little "snuffer" attached.  (Yes, I know I should have burned the candle before the photo..just forgot)

Want to wish my beautiful great niece Mackensie a very Happy 13th Birthday tomorrow!!

Eggs Benedict

“Hot buttered English muffins, Canadian-style bacon, and poached eggs are topped by a heavenly drizzle of hollandaise sauce”

What is there NOT to love? This is my all-time favorite breakfast, which unfortunately I do not make very often possibly for the reason; it has 892 calories, with 71 g of fat! The good news is there's a whole stack of low-fat Eggs Benny recipes on the Internet. If I make this twice a year I’m lucky, so of course I had to make it for St. Patrick’s Day Foodie Friday hosted by Michael, Designs by Gollum. Make sure you check out her blog to link up with other bloggers who participate in Foodie Friday, you’ll find some super recipes!






The recipe is not complex at all…start with a toasted English muffin with a slice of Canadian bacon on it, topped with a poached egg and creamy Hollandaise sauce. There are literally dozens of recipes for Hollandaise on the Internet and in cookbooks worldwide. I’m confessing I do not make any of them…. My time is precious to me so I use the Knorr packaged Hollandaise Sauce mix, which in my opinion tastes very good. I’ve been told that the McCormick brand is very good also, though I have never tried the brand.

If you’re going to indulge and make Eggs Benedict, you may as well go all-out and serve the dish with a chilled Mimosa!!



Make sure you all stop by Cuisine Kathleen and join in on Tuesday, March 17 for a St. Patricks Celebration "IRISH" style. There will be a Mr. Linky so you can link your blog to Kathleens!! Hope to see you all there...






May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
